Now that the NBA Draft Lottery has passed and the final selection order for the 2024 NBA Draft is set, teams now know exactly where they will make their decisions on the night of the big event. As such, we now have much more clarity on where some of the upcoming prospects could end up.

The NBA Draft Combine is kicking off this week, with many more workouts and interviews with individual teams for prospects over the next month and a half. The players in this class still have plenty of time to increase their stock, especially in such an uncertain draft.

Let’s take a look at fit and projections for this upcoming event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2024 NBA Mock Draft.
